Experian account

Hi I have an existing account with Experian which like with my Equifax account I can request credit score info and the like either on a trial basis or further subscription.
If I sign up the the MSE Credit Club would the free Experian report just supersede my existing account.?

thanks .

    No you'd need to contact Experian to cancel the existing subscription otherwise you may be charged a monthly fee

    Also instead of requesting the worthless credit score, actually check the info on the credit files.

    I also had a dormant experian account when I had done a trial then cancelled. I looked at my experian report and I have now had a letter telling me that because I looked I have reactivated my account and will be charged. MSE needs to know about this, its extortion.
